Anarlog

Open-source, local-first AI meeting notepad that keeps private conversations on your device with bot-free notes and editable summaries.

Introduction

Anarlog: The Private AI Meeting Notepad

Anarlog is an open-source, privacy-first, local-first alternative to cloud-based AI notetakers. It works quietly from your desktop without joining your calls, so no bot ever appears in the meeting and nothing is forced into the cloud.

Key Features
  • Bot-free note taking – Anarlog stays hidden while you share screens and never joins your calls.
  • Local by default – Notes, transcripts, attachments, and recordings stay on your device unless you choose otherwise.
  • Own your AI stack – Run models on-device, bring your own API keys, or use hosted AI when you want it.
  • Editable summaries – Turn raw meeting notes into clean, editable summaries you can refine.
  • Open source – The codebase is publicly inspectable, with a large community following on GitHub.
  • Flexible plans – Start free with local transcription, upgrade to Pro for cloud sync and hosted AI, or use Team and Enterprise for collaboration and organization-wide controls.
Who It's For

Anarlog suits anyone who wants to stay present in meetings without handing sensitive conversations to a third-party service. It is especially relevant for privacy-conscious teams, developers, and professionals who value data ownership and an inspectable AI stack.
